ROCK BAND
Two years ago, our 14-year-old son, Ben asked us for a set of drums for his birthday.
At first, we were very much against the idea because of the noise. ‘It’s better than
watching television or playing computer games in my free time.’ Ben argued, ‘and it’ll
keep me out of trouble.’ In the end we gave in. ‘All right,’ we said, ‘but you must consider
the rest of the family and the neighbors when you play.’
That was just the beginning. Because drums are not the easiest instruments to
transport, the other members of Ben’s band started appearing at our home with their
guitars and other electrical equipment. And so, for several hours a week, the house
shakes to the noise of their instruments and their teenage singing.
At least Ben’s hobby has been good for our health: whenever the band start
practicing, my husband and I go out for a long walk. And I must admit that, although
their music may sound a little strange, they are a friendly and polite group of young men.
I cannot judge their musical skill – after all I didn’t expect my parents’ generation to like
the same music as I did when I was a teenager – but they do play regularly in local
clubs for young people.
Our main worry is that they won’t spend enough time on their school work because
of their musical activities, though this hasn’t happened yet. I am always stressing to Ben
how important his studies are. But one thing is certain – Ben was right: it has kept him
out of trouble and he is never bored.
41. Why did the writer give Ben the present he wanted?
A. He already had too many computer games.

46. A. guests B. strangers C. relatives D. couples
47. A. with B. for C. by D. from
48. A. independent B. divorced C. grateful D. single
49. A. on B. up C. out D. over
50. A. more proud B. fonder C. more ordinary D. closer
